Building a sub-$250 Computer

I use an AMD64 X2 processor with some quality budget parts to build a 0 computer that is 64-bit, Dual Core, and is very upgradable. EDIT: This used to be titled a gaming computer, but as the build has dated, it is no longer considered as good as it once was. That computer is now running a Radeon HD 4850 and is soon to be upgraded to 4GB of RAM and a Phenom Processor, so it will be a gaming machine once again. Parts and Prices (NewEgg.com Part #): Kingston 2GB DDR2-800 Memory – .49 (N82E16820134636) SAMSUNG 500GB SATA Hard Drive – .99 (N82E16822152052) LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner – .99 (N82E16827106263) AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 Processor – .50 (N82E16819103211) Foxconn A74MX-K Motherboard – .99 (N82E16813186151) Rosewill R103A Case + PSU – .99 (N82E16811147010) SUBTOTAL: 6.95 SHIPPING: .99 TOTAL: 1.94

    or you could get an xbox 360 elite for 300 and get waaaaay better graphics and performance, I’m not saying pc gaming sucks, its wayy better if you have a money to buy a nice $800+ Gaming pc. Then it is way better than an xbox.

    he didnt use thermal past on the processor. Can you say overheating nightmare waiting to happen

  25. WickedGr says:

    @ablass19 The Stock AMD heatsink has thermal paste applied already so you don’t need to put any on the CPU.
